Author Benjamin Dean Visits Year 5 & 6

25 January 2024

This week, Year 5 & 6 were very excited to meet award-winning author, Benjamin Dean. Benjamin talked to the children about his new book: ‘The Boy Who Fell from the Sky’, an otherworldly adventure story about friendship and standing up for what you believe in.

The children learnt how Benjamin finds inspiration for his writing, as he talked them through how to create their own fantasy settings, characters and plot. We hope he inspired some of our budding authors!
